1) As Pamporovo is regarded as the warmest ski resort in Europe, would I be correct in thinking that there would be no need for a large ski jacket in early February, and that a bodywarmer would suffice?
2) I've been skiing a few times to various resorts Les deux alpes, arinsal and Livigno, and I thought the range of slopes in Livigno was the best I'd encountred so far - How does Pamporovo compare with any of these resorts in terms of skiing?

Pamporovo is a bit more limited in choice but it does offer more picturesque runs through the trees - and the pistes were well looked after.

As for it being warm - I'm not sure - it was bloody cold on the ski lift up the mountain - I'd take your jacket mate!
I have been there in Jan/Feb when it has been really hot and skied in a t - shirt, and have also been there the same time when it has been -17 degrees.
Bettter to have and not need, than to need and not have.
